in what have been a cataclysmic second debate. when barack obama announced were declared on the night of the benghazi attacks he denounced it from being an attack. remember looking at him in disbelief as if to say you just made me the next president of the united states? and in came candy crowley that said that's not true. the president is right to which barack obama looked at her with the same look and said say it again. i want every ready to your that i still keep counting them. for him to come out and say that defunding obamacare is not a strategic move. not on strategy. the campaign ended. mitt didn't know what hit him. a tremendous disservice was done to mitt off and the republicans but the continued and this is the remarkable thing just as the campaign didn't stop, so too has this not stopped since the election day. going into the elections, think about the number of scandals involving barack obama that could have been and should have been covered. and as you think about these just ask yourself do we know what happened? soly

yes, i am still doing through for those debates here. it keeps us thinking about the big questions that remain really important. but i attention out is focused through much on obama. i realize that i didn't address the question about the antichrist from earlier. it is kind of like a mosquito at a nudist colony. i'm not sure where to begin with that one. [laughter] >> thank you for coming to michigan. i think that reagan was known as a great communicator, obama's legacy will be the great destroyer. it took years to build the towers and a couple of hours to knock them down. it's harder to build a business venture destroyer. but at any rate, you made a comment in 2016 when obama cleans out his desk. my thing is that he so hates our constitution, that what makes you think we will ever have elections after that were that he will do away with this? [applause] >> the question is about obama and he subscribes to an ideology that wants a very different america. in the late 19th century, there was a debate in britain. britain was at the peak of it

romney free debate had a lot of convincing to do. likability was more in obama's favor. romney may have dictated a bit of the obama strategy such as it was during the debate and the issue of campaign competence. both had so many unforced errors more so in their romney column than the obama column until denver this past week. in this highly polarized environment both campaigns have strategically been appealing to their respective political bases. what is unusual about this election cycle is most voters have picked sides early and lead to our polling right after the convention. looks like the final weekend of the campaign. they tell us they are firmly committed to their candidate and the number of undecided voters has been surprisingly very low. single digits. it is not about persuasion. it is about mobilization. both of the conventions were like that. in the next few weeks we will see a lot about mobilizing folks to come out particularly because of early voting which has started in so many states. the middle is shrinking as far as these campaigns are concerned. we will ta
